2 Cor 9

• service to the saints
• Paul meant the gifts
  
• from Achaians to the Macedonians
• Paul sent several co-workers to the churches in Corinth
• to make final arrangements of the gifts
• for he didn't want them unprepared when he arrives with anyone from Macedon
• this is how thoughtful he was as a leader
  
• think in advance (always anticipate)
  
• take preventive measures to avoid undesirable outcome
• give according to what's decided in ones heart
• not reluctantly
  
• not under compulsion
• God loves a cheerful giver
• same with a servant
• God loves a cheerful servant
• not reluctantly
• not under compulsion
• rich in every way -> give generously on every occasion
• blessed to bless
• saved to serve
• received freely, and to freely give
• some things aren't, but salvation certainly is;
